So you are saying Austin came across better after picking on Stacy for no reason at all? you really are bias

I agree with you...Jordan can dish it but hit the right button (Billy Eliot)....and he will lose it.
He is treating Austin like he treated Gary Busey....it's only because people are disliking Austin that his behaviour is being deemed as acceptable.

No, don't put words in my mouth. You said James came across better. I thought you meant out of him and Austin...I never said anything about Stacy.
and if anyone's bias it's you. Austin could do something to change this forum's perception a week from now and you'd still be telling us what a terrible person he is.

He is not, Gary didn't invite confrontation like Austin is, Austin is treating Stacy like James with Gary Busey, James looks like he has learned lessons from his time in the house, Austin seems to have forgotten anything he learned.

yes that's what I meant, everyone came across better than Austin last night tbh. Him picking on Stacy for no reason at all automatically makes him come across the worse out of them all. I actually liked Austin but he's been awful this time round. James J ended him and Austin putting his finger in James's crack was disgusting

Oh please. James hasn't learned a damn thing. Within an hour of going in on launch night he told Austin that he liked him at first but didn't later on in the series. If that's not inviting confrontation I don't know what is.

I get the impression it will take quite some time for James to seriously crack, seems reasonably composed, but calling him 'Billy' every now and then will gradually grind him down to cracking point i should imagine!

I guess if you were minding your own business and someone started deliberately riling you, put their finger up your butt crack and kicked you, you wouldn't mind a bit? JJ controlled himself remarkably well, but then he's miles ahead of Austin (who is disturbingly childish) in the maturity stakes.

Deleted some posts in here, can i remind Forum members to keep it about the HMs and not eachother. Thanks

So what does that make James then? He specifically targeted Austin (for no reason) ON LAUNCH NIGHT and told him he "Liked him at first but didn't later on". Why is it ok for James to specifically go in and target Austin but Austin can't say anything of a similar nature to anyone else? I've asked this question multiple times but people keep ignoring it. I wonder why.

At least Austin got to know Stacy on a one on one basis before making judgements - unlike the 38 year old Billy Elliot.

Hilarious.

I'm sorry to have to break this to you but JJ is 38, 10 years older than Austin. Anyone who prides themselves on being a wind up merchant at that age are not mature at all. Quite the opposite. He's an embarrassment.

Fair enough my bad, yeah he does seem to have a lot of fans here but least you know you are not alone in your dislike! Also I never saw him in his series so i dunno about the gary busey thing but yes the biggest troublemakers do tend to also blow up easily and i agree-dont dish it out if you cant take it.

I've often wondered why some people seem to have a problem with, and mock, male dancers. Perhaps you would be good enough answer this question for me?

Probably because James just ignored it. If he had made any ounce of a fuss Austin would have been dragged to the DR. Even now if he makes a fuss about the arse poking thing Austin would be gone tbh. But I can't see him doing this so Austin will get away with it.

I don't have a problem with male dancers, but James clearly does if can be so easily riled by Austin's joke. Nice deflection there, btw.

Austin acts like a 10 year old though. Do you think his behaviour last night was acceptable? you just seem to be focusing on James reaction and completely bypassing Austins goading and kicking etc?

Then why say James was a '38 year old Billy Elliot' in a mocking way?

I doubt Austin's childish mockery about being a dancer bothered James. He didn't even react to that and seemed to get more annoyed later after Austin mocked Coleen about lying there 'in your single bed'. Very nasty.

It's pretty obvious.

Dancing, particularly ballet, has for a large proportion of time been deemed as an activity that women should take up due to it's light and graceful nature i would imagine. As a result, it would likely have been considered to be emasculating for men.

Times have changed but the stigma is still there for male dancers, hence why James was rattled when he was making out he was a 'big boy' and Austin brought him right back down with the 'dancer' jibe.

Austin acts like many 28 year olds do, and who's bypassing his behaviour? I haven't been asked about it but as it happens, I didn't particularly enjoy seeing him put his finger up James arse, no.

His kick didn't have any real force behind it, so I don't see how it can be viewed as anything but playful. We've seen other housemates do questionable things in the past, so why are BB fans outraged and offended now? Oh yes, because they don't like Austin. I hate defending someone with that sorry old excuse of them being drunk, but that's exactly what he was...drunk. If James had kicked Austin you'd be loving it and singing from the mountains like Julie bloody Andrews.

Because that's what Austin referred to him as. You've answered your question in the second paragraph. and James didn't really start getting nasty until Austin mentioned the Billy Elliot thing. A perfect example that he can dish it out but can't take it.

As for Coleen Nolan...who really cares about that besides the petty anti Austin brigade?

I don't mind Austin that much actually, I just think he's very childish with a nasty streak. I've seen worse. I preferred him in his last outing on Cbb when James Hill kept him in line. I think Austin needs someone more mature on his side for guidance....and no, if things had been reversed and James had fingered Austin and kicked him I wouldn't be loving it or defending it at all.
